Viator and the operator LivenUp ruined my vacation!!! Our ship could not port/tender because of rough seas/strong winds. At 6am when the announcement was made, I notified the tour operator and Viator. Operator only refunded half of my prepaid funds. Viator refused to help me and referred me back to operator. They refused to refund any more and bounced me back to Viator. I know of another passenger Pat Mitchell and her daughter, Krissy Mitchell who booked thru Viator and received a full refund for the same day cancellation. I still expect that Viator should refund the balance owing of $462USD. I had booked several tours through Viator with confidence. This lack of support for me, the customer, is truly disappointing and sad. I WILL NEVER BOOK WITH VIATOR AGAIN. Neither will any of our party of 8. AND I WILL BE SURE TO CONTINUE TO WARN OTHERS NOT TO EITHER. Our Facebook page of over 300 people for the cruise have also been made aware of this situation. PLEASE ESCALATE THIS ISSUE TO YOUR CUSTOMER RETENTION DEPT. I WANT IT RESOLVED!!!

Loved it. Karolina was the best. . I would say that one needs more time at each stop, so maybe a two dayer would be better, which I know this operator can arrange for you. And be prepared that Eze is ALL up hill. But I really loved our day. Was magical.

Jasen_M

This tour was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend it. It is 10x better than any excursions you can book with the cruise line itself. The group was small and the tour guide, Momen, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and answered any questions we had. Monaco and Eze were stunning. Our tour guide made sure we were back to the ship in plenty of time. We had an amazing trip.

An unforgettable experience with our guide Karolina, a pleasant and well-documented person who presented us the places and not least the transfer was made with a quality and new car. I recommend the trip and the company because they have definitely quality services even for the most demanding persons.

I can't say enough about out tour and especially our guide Thin, We had an unforgettable day. Thin explained so much to us about the region and the history. Because we were a small group he was able to move things around and circumvent the weather. We saw everything we wanted and more. Thank you Thin for making the first day of our trip so memorable.

I went to the European Conference with my husband in Monaco and I received this brochure recommending me for tours. I went with Kathy Dean(whose husband also were in the conference) to three tours. We are with Reno on Mon and Wed and Marc on Tues. Reno is an excellent and very knowledgeable guide of the area and welcomed questions from the tourists. He is very punctual and an excellent driver and will captivate you with his experiences and stories in the areas. Kathy and I had a very good time with hime during the tours.

Fantastic guide made this tour over the top, literally , as we wound around beautiful scenic drives up the hills for gorgeous views below. Every area was breathtaking-yachts and condos in the 30million dollar range were fun to see on the beautiful blue water. Also got to see changing of guard at Monte Carlo but allowed in only to front touristy small casino. Our party of 4 all agreed this was a very worthwhile tour.

We were met at the arrival dock for our tour provided by our guide/driver, Thin from LivenUp. He was timely, extremely humorous, deeply knowledgeable and provided us with an experience to remember. I highly recommend him.
